Partner Rolan Jankelevitsh is a key contact in Derling's tax team and works alongside two partners and three other professionals.

Derling was formed in 2016 by partners Jankelevitsh, Erki Kergandberg and Elmer Munapartners who are former long-term members of Tark Grunte Sutkiene's Estonian office, with decades of experience. Tark Grunte Sutkiene was listed in tier three of World Tax last year. The firm liaises with partner firms Kronbergs Cukste in Latvia and Dominas Derling in Lithuania to give clients region-wide advice.

Jankelevitsh advised software developer Nortal Group in June 2016 on a corporate tax case worth up to €15 million in combined transactions. The team supported the management buy-out transaction of the entity, including the structure of share purchase transactions and restructuring of employee option schemes.

A client said: "We have been using Derling's (and its predecessors') assistance for quite some time now, and we have been very happy. They are very proactive and responsive; they take the time to ask questions in an effort to understand our business and we appreciate this. I would definitely recommend them."
